Can you be covered by two health insurances?
In theory, yes. For example, health insurance might be offered to each of husband and wife through their employers. If, for some reason, both accept the insurance, they are each, again in theory, covered by two policies of health insurance. That said, heath insurance policies routinely contain "coordination of benefits" provisions which anticipate situations like this. Those provisions allocate responsibility for the covered expense between the insurers. In no event can either the insured or the health care provider collect twice, because the purpose of the insurance is to assume the responsibility for paying the expense, rather than to allow either party to profit from it.

HIPAA provides things like guaranteed ability to transfer you're medical coverage from one employer to another, without a new preexisting clause. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website, Title I of HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs. Title II of HIPAA, the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers. The AS provisions also address the security and privacy of health data. The standards are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in the US health care system.
